(75 days) Open pollinated.
Earth-passionate breeder Relentless blended at least three kinds of peppers into its pedigree, although it looks like a jalapeño in color, shape and size. In the breeder’s own words: “If I had to have one chili on a desert island, it used to be a jalapeño. Now maybe not. This new chili is the result of a cross between an open-pollinated jalapeño and (my own) original that was called 45° N Attitude. The object was to have a thicker-skinned 45° with a lot of jalapeño flavor. The 45° N had thin skin, delicious hot fruity flavor, and dried and produced well in northern latitudes. My overriding intent in crossing them was to obtain the best combination of both.”
In 2022’s paucity of peppers displayed at the Common Ground Fair Exhibition Hall, Jaluv stood out. Got attitude? Ayuh! 2,500–8,000 Scoville units. 2008 Fedco introduction.
Jaluv an Attitude: Our 2026 Seed Without a Price
How do we put a monetary value on seeds–living heirlooms, stewarded for generations, whose stories mirror our own?
Each year in our catalog, we pose this question and offer one seed variety that has no determined price. We invite you to read a bit about the seed’s story, consider the people who have tended and shared the variety, and decide what you’d like to pay.
After we cover our costs for this seed, any profits go into our Seed Farmers Resilience Fund. By choosing to pay more for this seed than you would for a typical packet of pepper seed (which averages about $3.50), you’ll be supporting our seed farmers who are facing crop and livelihood losses due to climate disruption. The growers who produce the seed we sell are vitally important to Fedco and to the thousands of gardeners and farmers who plant these seeds each year to feed their families and communities.
